Beginning today...
I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today...
I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.
Beginning today...
I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today...
I will cherish each moment of my life. I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today...
I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today...
I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time. Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today...
I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today...
I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today...
I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy . . . admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath . . .pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today...
I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
Beginning today........And every day.

This one showed up right as I was posting my comment to the other one..think I need to copy this one down and stick it on my fridge.. some of these things I tell myself on a semi-regular basis, but maybe seeing them before I get into the chocolate will help remind me to stick with them? ;) Wise words to live by..

"Beginning today...
I will open my mind and my heart."
I am sure that you didn't mean to sound cruel and judgemental and hurt my feelings so deeply. I am sure that you mean to have an open heart and mind. My hand is open in friendship, should you wish.
I do not claim to be a perfect Christian. That is for God to decide. But I have never hurt you intentionally, and I am sorry that my posting bothered you.
As to whether our Father disapproves of my lighthearted way of viewing the world, that is also for Him to decide, don't you think?
